But after tasting it, He refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified Him, they divided His garments among them, casting lots. This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet: 'They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.' 36 Then they sat down and kept watch over Him there. 37 Above His head they placed the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left. 39 Those who passed by were hurling insults at Him, shaking their heads and saying, 40 'You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!' 41 In the same way, the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked Him, saying, 42 'He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 'He trusts in God; let God deliver Him now, if He wants Him. For He said, "I am the Son of God."' 44 The robbers who were crucified with Him also heaped insults on Him in the same way.

You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 'save Yourself by coming down from the cross!' 31 In the same way, the chief priests and scribes were mocking Him among themselves, saying, 'He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! 32 'Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!'
